Prediction of the immigrant location choices under the lack of water for entire U.S.

This term project presentation explores the impact of water shortage on immigrant location choices in the United States. Using GIS and data analysis, it aims to predict which states will face water shortage, which states will be preferred destinations for immigrants seeking to change their location due to water shortage, and the rate of decreasing or increasing water storage for each state. The study also discusses the challenges and how GIS can help in this analysis.

  1. Prediction of the immigrant location choices under the lack of water for entire U.S. Term Project Presentation MahyarAboutalebi November 8, 2016 CEE 6440 – GIS in Water Resources

  2. Introduction http://eurasiadiary.az/news/conflicts/37262-muharibenin-usaqlari http://fightforflorida.com/2015/08/31/how-big-business-is-screwing-floridas-unemployed/ http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2015/05/iran-water-crisis.html http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2013-03/12/content_16300071.htm Why do people migrate? People migrate for many different reasons.

  3. Introduction http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/guides/zkg82hv/revision/5 Where do people go? It completely depends upon the push factors and pull factors. What do they want {Job, Safety, Food, Better Life Quality} and What do they escape {War, Natural disaster, Famine}?

  4. Introduction http://www.esdaw.eu/environmental-degradation.html http://www.esdaw.eu/environmental-degradation.html http://learn.eartheasy.com/2014/03/the-outlook-for-water-availability-in-your-region/ One of the most important factor that influence the destination of people is “the availability of water” classified in “Environmental Migration”

  5. What about Water Shortage as a Push Factor in United State?

  6. Objects http://arilikeairy.org/what-are-network-goals/ This study covers the following questions: Which states will be faced with water shortage? Which states would be the destination of people who want to change their location because of water shortage? What would be the rate of decreasing water storage and increasing water storage for each state?

  7. Materials and Methods Water Equivalent Anomaly The slide of Map projection presentation prepared by Dr. Maidment and Dr. Tarboton Step 1: Obtain the database for calculating water storage Step 2: Extract the time series of water storage for each state Step 3: Calculate the slopes of trend line Step 4: Analyze the results and developed an index

  8. Materials and Methods What are the challenges and How GIS can help us? https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/stages-setting-up-use-gis-lydiah-wanjiru http://www.perfectplaces.com/United_States-Vacation-Rentals.htm

  9. Materials and Methods What are the challenges and How GIS can help us? Python Retrieve Data from FTP Preprocess and Store data in spreadsheet Use Extract by Mask to retrieve data for each state

  10. Results and Discussions

  11. Summary and Conclusion Which states will be faced with water shortage? Which states would be the destination of people who want to change their location because of water shortage? What would be the rate of decreasing water storage and increasing water storage for each state?
